This is my blog journal, a journal about the art that can be found in nature, about macro photography, and other topics of interest! I’m just a typical American boy, from a typical American home in South Carolina, and one who enjoys exploring all the possibilities of capturing artistic abstracts in the world of macro. This journal has been created not only as a outlet for my thoughts about the world of nature photography, but hopefully as a place where others may visit, … and maybe learn something from it. Currently I am working with various clients and art buyers throughout the US.

Rich colors & details. WOW!
Beautiful Mike.. i love the way the light has fallen..
Outstanding Michael, may be my favorite. You got the lighting just right. Love the sharp detail and boldness of the comp. Just wonderful.
this is spectacular. Truly love this image. Is this background part of the flower or a seperate background….? Did you shoot the flower intact or detach the stamen – thx much — Bill Nyman
Amazing. Talk about up close and personal. Now I know where the design and colors for a twinkie are derived. Or maybe I’m just hungry. :-)
Best wishes on your shooting endeavors. I anticipate some beauties for us all and valuable lessons.
This one will surely become one of my all time favourites!
My goodness, are you usuing a microscope now?! That’s incredible.
Bring back some good stuff for us Michael.
another beautifull picture.
also i wanted to let you know i linked to your site from my photolog.
Beautiful as usual! You keep amazing me!
Have fun out shooting!
Thanks gang!
Stepped inside for a moment and thought I would check in while some images downloaded.
Bill, this particular stamen was still intact to the bud.
While peeling away those layers, when you get closer to where the stamens are, you will first see 1 or 2 stamens that might be sticking out by themselves. Then, as you get even closer to the center, they will be more massed together.
I personally like to shoot the ones that are by themselves.
Although the inside of the young buds of the camelia seem so clean, crisp, and fresh looking on the inside, you do sometimes run across a blemish or two on the petals still.
This shot had a couple of very small blemishes at the lower left, and one at the upper right.
I could have left them as is, but with the way the lighting was hitting the subject and the overall feel that I wanted, I chose to go with a touch of cloning to bring about the “crisp/clean/fresh” look.
And Rensnl, … thanks for the link.
Will be adding some links here later when I decide which way to go with the blog template.
Again gang, … thanks for looking!
Back to work now!! :)
This wonderful. Love the contrasting colors.
Have a good time!
looks fantastic against that dark background. Looks very precious the way you’ve captured it.
Love being able to see the detail – so sharp. Knowing you’ll be bring back great work will keep us eagerly waiting for your return.
Awesome macro Mike! Good luck with the photo shoot, looking forward to your return..cheers mate
Nice. The background color nicely fits for the foreground color. One of the photography outing in singapore, the freelance professional gave me the color wheel to select the background color, based on the foreground color.
Basically this can be used for studio lighting.I have checked this image colors with that wheel and its perfectly fits. I really love the god creation. I browsed your site and all your images are really fantastic.
Beautiful! This is one of my favorites. The colors are spectatular.

Well, as everyone before me has said already, this is stunning, maybe one of your best. I say “maybe” because it’s so difficult to make distinctions between stunning, perfect, and brilliant! :)
Do you have any photographs of the whole camelia flower?
Brilliant! You always amaze me Mike. Come back soon.
Wow impressive colors!
Whoa! Way cool. I need to get a super macro and take some photos like that. This is an awesome photo!
Wow, fantastic. That looks so abstract, a fantastic example of your macro art.
Another beautiful macro.
There isn’t any praise I could lavish on you that hasn’t already been stated, but I really like the dark ruby color of the background and the soft, subtle lighting. Very beautiful!
Beautiful beautiful beautiful! I love the colours – and just everything about it really!
Thanks again everyone, … and Judith, no, I did not get any shots of the whole flower, as I was way to wrapped up in getting real close! :)
very beautiful macro photo.
Love the colors! Nice job!!
Fantastic!
Just realized after all this time that I had “camelia stamen” in the title, when in fact, this is a “rose stamen”.
I have been shooting them both over the past few years, and can easily get them mixed up if I’m not careful.
Whoops, ….. my bad!
